More reliability: higher power means higher path reliability. In addition to the path uptime, IRU 600 has field-proven mean-time-between-failure of over 160 years. In short, IRU 600 is the most reliable and proven all-indoor radio on the market today.

Highest power digital microwave radio ever built

Where failure is not an option, the Eclipse IRU 600 represents high performance, high reliability mission critical microwave. The IRU 600 is the industry’s most secure radio and is now available with extra transmit power — +39 dBm or 5 times more than high power — all enclosed in a compact 2RU chassis for all-indoor, protected deployments for mission critical microwave installations.

This extra high power enriches your network with quantum improvements in microwave link reliability while extending path distances and/or stepping down to small, less expensive antennas.

As you may have seen, Aviat has been very vocal about the benefits of extra high power (EHP) radios on network designs. Most of these discussions have been about the cost savings benefits of high output power in the form of more distance, smaller antennas, or more capacity.

This large western US state had a longtime relationship with a microwave radio vendor and would have continued buying from them if their radios and support evolved with the State’s needs. However, over time its needs changed and it had to have more capabilities from its communications network. But it did not want to unnecessarily build new sites and erect costly new towers.

You may have noticed we’ve been talking a lot lately about our new 39dBm EHP radio (the most powerful digital microwave radio ever built by the way). We’ve been getting a phenomenal response to this product mostly because of the real business benefits it delivers…benefits largely related to the antenna.

As a rule of thumb in microwave backhaul, the more powerful the radio (i.e., system gain) the smaller the antenna has to be (i.e., overall diameter). More than any other factor, smaller antennas drastically lower the total cost of ownership for microwave.

Case study: Large Western US state cuts number of antennas, costs with extra high-power radiosThis large western US state had a longtime relationship with a microwave radio vendor and would have continued buying from them if their radios and support evolved with the State’s needs. However, over time its needs changed and it had to have more capabilities from its communications network. But it did not want to unnecessarily build new sites and erect costly new towers. It also could not afford to add more really large microwave dishes to towers that were already close to overload—some of which can be 8- or 10-feet in diameter. Even if existing infrastructure is used exclusively, these heavyweights of the antenna world would require that current towers receive costly reinforcement upgrades.

White paper: Using smaller antennas with EHP radiosThis paper discusses the practical implications of using Aviat’s ultra high power EHP radios with smaller antennas. These include: lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), transportation, and ease of installation. A comparison of the technical specifications and cost figures of a deployment using EHP radio with 4ft antennas against 8ft. antennas and standard radios are discussed for a non-protected configuration to highlight the benefits of using smaller antennas with the EHP radio.

What customers and analysts are saying

Chris Negron

As you know, we deployed your Eclipse IRU 600 series radios last year... they are two of the best performing hops in our network.

Rob Reish

Communication Manager, ODOT/OSP Wireless Section

Oregon has been a customer of Aviat's for well over 20 years. The reliability of the Aviat equipment has been phenomenal, and the installation and maintenance support from Aviat has always exceeded our expectations. We expect no less as we implement our new microwave network. Aviat's people consistently show that reliability and customer satisfaction are their primary goals.

Richard Webb

Senior Directing Analyst, Infonetics

According to our research, for two years in a row, reliability is the No. 1 customer criteria for choosing a microwave vendor. High transmit power means more reliable microwave links; it is perhaps the most critical factor in enabling higher microwave network uptime. With this product, Aviat leads the industry in transmit power.
